We are basically at the technological limit of firefighting. The 747 is not even being built anymore and it’s hard to think of a bigger fire truck than that 🤔 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/747_Super

Time for a new Spruce Goose? Or just some sclerotic European A380 conversions?

I think this is only true if you think of firefighting technology as "putting out flames" instead of bottom-up rethinking of landscaping, architecture, city planning, etc.

That more at the ideology level of the stack. Important but not a pure tech problem like “what’s the fastest way to lay down huge volumes of retardant over a wide area”

An A380? I think there was excess production of those.
Side note: from the firenadoes you can totally see how the Israelites might have followed that pillar of fire, thought a sign of God. In a firenado situation, it just destroys any other sign of life before it.

this batch of fires made me wonder if the rich people of the L.A hillsides aren't gonna be installing foam fire suppression systems like in aircraft hangars. lawn sprinkler systems < brush fire halon systems.
